This Place Blows

Mikias and Jem staying busy waiting for our pizza

It was Columbus Day, but the weather was more like the 4th of July. Kurt was out of town, so I thought it would be fun to take the boys out for pizza someplace that we could dine outdoors. We sat out on the deck of Mama Mia's and admired the view of Plymouth harbor. I was looking at the replica of The Maylower and thinking how lucky we are to live close to so much history. The boys sat coloring their placemats and talking to each other. It wasn't that long ago that going out to a restaurant was not so easy. Kurt and I have worked very hard on restaurant manners with the boys. It was clearly paying off. Sitting there with my well behaved boys, I was feeling proud.

It was busy at the restaurant that evening and I looked at my watch to see how long we had been waiting for our food to arrive. It had been over a half an hour since we ordered.
